The "Discovery Channel" yesterday featured Ted Koppel's "The Price of Security".... a town-hall-type discussion by scores of highly-educated experts and powerful people. Serious issued were raised, and many perspectives represented. However, one statement literally "Made my jaw drop".. A Connecticut Representative named Christopher Shays made a comment about how a "scientist from Los Alamos" could "go to Home Depot and buy the necessary items to build a nuclear bomb". I COULD NOT BELIEVE that a representive of our government could make such a LUDICROUS and irresponsible comment; I could also NOT BELIEVE THAT HIS STATEMENT WAS NOT CHALLENGED BY OTHER PARTICIPANTS! Just EXACTLY which aisle, at Home Depot, sells the "Enriched Plutonium"?? Can I use my "Home Depot Gift Card" to buy those 'DETONATORS"?? Who is this "Christoper Shays"?? and what LUNATIC ASSYLUM did he escape from? Today, Air America Radio revealed stories about the Al Queda terrorist who was captured and subsequently "rolled-over" on Zarkawi. Included in the "intel" which he provided to the C.I.A. were the names of four people who knew IN ADVANCE of the attacks on the World Trade Centers. Three of them were Saudi princes, and the fourth was the commander of the Pakistani Air Force and member of their "Intelligence-Agency". ALL FOUR of these men have since died of "Mysterious" circumstances. One Saudi prince died in a "one-car accident", One died "of thirst"; and the Pakistani General died (at the age of 43) of either "a heart-attack, or a blood-clot". How CONVENIENT!! The Al Queda prisoner stated that the Pakistani "Intelligence Agency" and the Saudi Royal family KNEW in advance about the plans of 9-11.. and turned a "Blind-eye". (a Saudi Royal-family bank WAS used to channel money to the 9-11 hijackers) This is one of those stories which WILL NEVER get seen on Fox TV, or any other "Major" network!! Take a look at the "Big Picture"... Bin Ladin's goals were: To cripple America's economy, to "divide" America's citizens, to remove American troops from Saudi Arabia, and to embarrass and kill American Military. It certainly looks like he has accomplished ALL of those objectives!!! Still we are told to "stay-the-course"... WHAT EXACTLY IS "THE COURSE"?? Perhaps the "course" is to "line-the-pockets" of all those military-industrial contractors; after all, WARS ARE A GREAT PLACE TO MAKE MONEY!! It is also suspicious, that weeks before the elections of November, the price of gasoline in America has taken a sudden dive... Have Dick Cheney's "secret-energy-policy advisors" manipulated oil-supplies to help the Republicans "look-good"?? They performed similar "Manipulations" of California's power-grid to assure that "AHnold" was elected, replacing a Democrat!!! (taped evidence exisits of Enron employees PURPOSEFULLY causing those notorious "rolling-blackouts" which sent economic shock-waves through California and caused MAJOR economic chaos) You remember ENRON?? Ken Lay who was George W. Bush's best friend and largest campaign-contributor?? The "STENCH" OF THEIR FOWL DEEDS IS WITH US STILL!! Meanwhile, Congressional democrats attempted to pass a bill which would allow internet access of ALL Federal spending, for public scrutiny;. A site which would allow "ordinary-citizens" to see EXACTLY where their tax-dollars are spent. NATURALLY, The Facists Neo-Con bastards in Congress would not allow such scrutiny of their own corruption and greed. Similarly, the Republican-controlled Congress voted NOT to investigate the MISSING 93 MILLION DOLLARS, which is un-accounted-for in the "Iraq-reconstruction"!! Such an investigation would obviously embarrass and possibly CONVICT MANY OF THEM!!! Every day, I see the "bumper-stickers" proclaiming the "Power of Pride".. Let us not forget that "Pride" is one of the "Seven Deadly Sins" and that "Pride goeth before a fall"!! Somehow the disgusting conduct of "our" government MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE!! I am Not "Proud to be an American"; I am embarrassed, and disgusted.
